Avocado Rose 101: How To Make An Avocado Rose

They’ve become one of my little passion projects and my go-to whenever I’m looking to spice up a basic (pun intended) slice of avocado toast or impress friends.

They’re an art that take a ton of practice, precision, and about 83293 avocados to truly master (which, fortunately, is stellar for guac or avocado smash). To help, I’ve put together Avocado Rose 101 — your step-by-step guide to making beautiful avocado roses every time, including a video demo.

Enjoy and god speed. Once you give it a go, drop you creations in the comments below.

How To Make An Avocado Rose

Avocado Rose — Steps:

1. Find THE perfect avocado. Seriously, avocado roses are impossible if your avocado isn’t the right consistency. They should be perfectly ripe. If they’re too hard they won’t curl and adhere; if they’re too mushy they’ll look brown and turn into a goopy mess.

2. Cut avocado in half.

3. Peel off the skin.

4. Slice the avocado across from end to end as thin as possible.

5. Slide the avocado slices apart to form a fanned out straight line. Try to make this as long as possible, but all of your slices should still be connected and in-tact.

6. Delicately curl the avocado around, starting with the tip. Continue to curl it around multiple times until you build a spiral.

7. Gently fan the top of the slices out, so that the avocado forms “petals” and looks like a rose.
